hey guys

I managed to implement this Movie Director Thumb addon support / feature in Aeon Nox SiLVO: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=342720 
I share it in the forum for anyone who likes to add it

DISCLAMER:
this is guide step by step and will require manual work
this only works for Aeon NOX SiLVO
once you update the skin from official rep, your edits most likely will be gone and you will need to re-do everything again
code is tested. no error or warnings found in kodi log or diagnostics related to this modification, still use on your own risk

LIMITATIONS:
"these are skin limitations or things I haven't figure out how to go around them"
1- due to the fact that the skin allows only 2 views (list view and Icon view) for Directors submenu, then not possible to show dorectors thumb in poster view or showcase view etc.
2- the only view that show the movies directors thumbs is Icon view.
3- since the Icon view is square and the photos from the addon are rectangle, then some of the photos appear cropped from the top and bottom 
4- although the list view is available for Directors submenu, it is not possible for it to show the thumbs since it shows only text which is the director name and next to it is a list of the movies for that director.
5- you have to have a dummy picture in the folder mentioned below, otherwise if you missing pictures then they will appear just black square
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\resource.images.moviedirectorthumbs\resources\

HOPE:
the above limitations can be fixed by one of two things: implementing this addon support in the skin officially or allow more views in the director submenu that can better display the photos in this addon such as poster, my flix, etc.

here is the guide:
